I have a problem to crack and really need to see what the parish record says about these two baptisms on the IGI.
Thornton by Horncastle, LIN, 19 October 1823
William EAST, father = William East; mother = Elizabeth
Joseph EAST, father = Prest William East; mother = Elizabeth
I THINK these two are brothers but Joseph was baptised in 1821 at Kirkstead, LIN as 'Joseph Preston EAST'. The father (William) had died in June 1823 aged only 24 (he was buried at Kirkstead and described as 'of Thornton'). I'm hoping there might be more clues in the actual records.
I'd be so grateful if anyone happened to be going to Lincoln sometime.
